Have Fun With This One

Itssssssss..... THURSDAY... I just said that in my mind like the Price is Right guy would from the low to the high voice. Speaking of Price is Right (Funny story, this wasn't planned - literally just came to me as I wrote this) Check out this Sa-Weet little story board of my mom in the 80's.



She won a car. A-Ha-Some. O and you're welcome - She's going to KILL me now. But I think this is a pretty good intro to an Awkward and Awesome post right? So without further adieu...

Awkward:
-My mom refusing to share this tape (literally hid it from her husband) only to have her whole family make us watch it Christmas day. I'm liking the parachute pants, 80's hair, and socks with flats. Mother has it goin on.
-Forgetting the name of the neighbour you talk to EVERY DAY while introducing your new roommate. Sorry guy!
-My Christmas tree is still up? Got a definite "crazy lady" look from the maintenance man
-Thinking I looked pretty good today for work only to have the first thing said to me... "How are you feeling? You look kind of... Well... Ehh" Ya... As I so awesomely tweeted here
-Forgetting how to do simple math in front of people. Went something like "well 9 goes in 36 eight times".. It doesn't, its 4. I'm pretty sure? Yes, just checked on my calculator.  (real time updates on this blog)
-Running into people from high school you don't want to see. Still awkward EVERY time though it happens often.
-Pants paranoia during lady time of the month. Let's be real here

On to the next part:



Awesome:
-Getting this bad boy for Christmas and breaking him out at E-ver-ry opportunity.
-Getting to work from home a couple days each week.
-Asking YOU this important question.. ha ha... Should I go back blonde, go a little lighter.. or stay dark for my next hair appointment? Need the help ladies
-Having faith in God that everything will work out even though inside I'm freaking out like a rabid squirrel
-Starting and sticking to my "Healthy Eating" goal this week. I can already tell a huge difference.
-Losing 2.3 lbs
- Got a tripod for badboy above. Thinking of keeping his name BadBoy or changing it to BA- Bad Ass. I name my loved items. To me, they have feelings (Re-insert line into awkward)
-One more day 'til da weekend.... C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!!
-Getting better at this whole walking thing


There you have it lovelies! Hope you have a splendid day!

Awkward & Awesome

Sorry for my moody rantings yesterday! But thank you for all of your amazing comments. You all are pretty much awesome. In the spirit of Thursday and how it's the one day I want to rush through to get to Friday, this post will be short and sweet.

Awkward:
-Check out the awesome picture to the left below. The longer you look, the funnier it gets.
-My right leg is now profoundly larger than my left leg from being on crutches. It looks so awkward.
-Getting in the elevator and being 98% sure that the guy who just came out farted. Then the next person who gets on thinks it was you.
-I turned into a person I hate- I have had trash bags outside my door for like 5 days now. Please don't judge!
-Cutting off someone in traffic (sorry!) only to find out they're your neighbor when you pull into the same complex and the same building




Awesome:
-This is my first week at work off crutches!
-I got my first Christmas tree and am about ready to show off my Christmas decorations
-Christmas is just around the corner and I can't wait to spend quality time with my family
-I made some pretty awesome holiday crafts that look awe-some
-Getting a $300 referral check from my apartment
-Winning a $25 gift card at the apartment holiday party you walk into while picking up said check
-Tomorrow is Friday. Holla!

Ramblings + A Quick Awkward and Awesome

I have been in the most blah mood all week. Thank you mother nature. Seriously haven't cared one bit what I look like for work, took everything out of me to get out of bed each morning, and have been overly frustrated all week. I don't know what my deal is at all but I need to snap out of this.

So please enjoy my wonderful moments of the week! :

Awkward:
-Please visualize. Walking to the bathroom, tampon concealed, crutching along. Tampon flys out of its hiding spot and to the ground. Male bystander walks by to help girl on crutches with item dropped. While handing it to her, he realizes what it is and drops it only to pick it up again with complete horror, hands it over, and rushes off. Highlight awkward moment of the week
-Realizing at the end of my work day I wore a completely wrong bra with my shirt. Little pink lace was popping out ALL day.
- While in the doctor's office waiting to get my knee looked at I remembered a key point. The shoes I chose to wear that day make my feet REEK. Panicly rushing to find the smelly hand sanitizer to rub over the stank resulted in a scented "Caribbean Escape Feet" smell.



Awesome:
-Going to see my sister's last Christmas Chorus Concert tonight
- My MOM GOT A TEACHING JOB AT BELL'S FERRY ELEMENTARY
-Learning and failing to make this holiday wreath. More on that later
-One more day 'til the weekend
-Buying a boat load of Christmas ornaments
-Getting a bottle of M&M candy Prescription from a co-worker as a random act of kindness.

And there you have it. Happy Thursday Everyone!

Awkward and Awesome

Happy December and Happy Thursday everyone! So glad that there is only one more day until the weekend. So I must admit... I have been having tons of fun reading everyone's "Awkward and Awesome" posts and may or may not have been a little excited to write one again this week. Last week was the flashback edition as it was my first A&A post. Just wanted to make sure you knew what you were dealing with here.

So for this week... here it is.



Awkward:

-Pocket answering the phone while blasting my lungs out to some song I knew only half the words to. You know where you're like " And blazenstrump oooo blah jarva ooo.... You got my heart!" Ya... Embarassing
-Making a what I thought to be really funny joke at work only to have everyone be like... "What?"
-Trying to bribe the girl taking my order for pick up to bring the food out to me because I swore I was handicap and not a creeper... only to have her respond with "Thats exactly what a creeper would say"... But I won out
-Attempting and epicly failing to use the auto-wheelchair at wal-mart. I can still feel the whiplash
-Having no place to put my phone while on crutches so there is the attempted bra hold... never works, phone slides right down. yay for no cleavage
-And lastly, Falling at the movie theatre onto an empty row while I yelled out an extremely awful profanity. Sorry kids.



Awesome:

-Finding out my little sister got the LEAD role in her school's upcoming musical
-Stuffing myself with Sushi before the Thanksgiving meal was even ready... Yes, we are Japanese and eat sushi at every get together
-Unbottoning my pants at Thanksgiving without feeling guilty
-Going to Utah for my BFs wedding and having a whole week off of work
-Getting to see family for the holiday
-Finding out one of my best friend's moving back to Atlanta. That's her right there above!
-Getting a new family dog

And there you have it my favorite people. Hope you all have a wonderful Awesome and Awkward Thursday

Awkward and Awesome: Flashback Edition

So as this is my first Awkward & Awesome Thursday, I thought I would begin with a little background information as to why I am so more awkward than awesome - even though my level of awesomeness is awesome.
Moving on. Flashback. I was SOoooooooo Awkward in middle school and the beginning of high school. Like literally... to the point where I have flashbacks that are so embarrassing that I start singing without realizing to block them out of my memory instantaneously. Really... Singing.

Let me recount the ones that still haven't been suppressed - I was an odd one

Awkward Flashback:
- Lying to the cool girls when they asked if I got highlights and telling them I got only one. Really? One highlight? I really got a bunch.
-Going through this way too long phase of putting TONS of glitter on my eyelids. The trend lasted 3 weeks. I think I did it for 3 months.
-Wanting to show off my "mad" singing skills and really be overheard by cute boys on the bus, I would sing to my school bus seating partner... like singing, A Little Mermaid's "A Whole New World". That poor girl.
-I was a MAJOR choir nerd (but am still dang proud of it). I would wear the t-shirts with music notes and symbols and one liners from random songs.
-Confronting the cool girls and "setting them straight" for claiming one of my guy friends liked them. I was apparently "protective". It was so awkward.
-Wore my hair in a ponytail EVERYDAY because I didn't know how to tame the beast.
-Braces + really bad fashion sense. You do the math.






Awesome Flashback:
-Finding my place with some AMAZING friends end of my sophomore year of high school.
-Discovering the invention of a hair straightener.
-Getting rid of baby acne... Hey we're being honest here.
-Realizing I was actually pretty cool.
-Dating a guy who was in college while I was still in high school. That was a big move in my coolness factor.
-Seriously... making lifelong friends who I still am close with today.
-Having chorus be a pretty cool thing - we were pretty dang good
-Getting my license and a bad A car named Tyrone
-Becoming pretty okay with how awkward & Awesome I was at the same time.

And there you have it. Please note, this is the FIRST time I have shared majority/all of these suppressed awkward moments. Happy Thursday everyone!
